We choose these "nice" guys to play on the team, which is probably better than the Dallas's of the world, but with that we lack fire and intensity on gamedays.. and personally I am absolutely tired of watching a team without fire.

I miss the Gravedigger wrenching up the crowd.. I miss Wayne Simmons clocking a TE, I miss Chuck Cecil delivering a hit so hard you wondered whom it hurt more.. I miss Charles Martin's hit list.. I miss Mad Dog's fire.. I miss that Packer fire.. that intensity that came with playing on the Packers.. we lack that..

+1 I will respect this defense again when I see opposing offenses slammed into the turf, when I see craters left in their wake, when I see bone-crunching hits I can hear from the stands. All this arm-tackling and jumping routes to chase after picks reeks of showboating and is just weak. Attempting to compensate for weakness and lack of drive with finesse just doesn't cut it.

RP: I now have this image of Mike McCarthy standing at a chalkboard in the locker room saying, "Gentlemen, this is a seagull..."

"Coach, what in the HELL is wrong with Tony Moll??"

McCarthy puts together a highlight reel (or, in this case, a lowlight reel) of all of our losses by 7 pts or less this season (punts bouncing off our players, blocked FGs, defensive collapses, etc) in an attempt to "Get that fixed." The effort backfires and only reinforces the gaffes, and the young team demonstrates them ALL in one game.

And after all that, we lose by only 1 pt, because after all, this is the Lions... 🙂

On the final pass of the game Chico fires a bullet to a wide open Jones on the two yard line.

The ball kills a seagull.

The Seagull and the ball land side by side on the one.

Moll picks up the seagull and dives into the end zone.

Detroit picks up the ball and goes 99 yards for the win.

Moll, still not knowing what happened... Jumps up and celebrates by spiking the seagull.

We will be up 31-21 with 3 seconds remaining. Culpepper will heave up a hail mary that will be knocked from Nick Collins hands by Jarrett Bush (Darren Sharper style) and be caught by Calvin Johnson in the back corner of the endzone. No problem though right, I mean the game is over. WRONG. There is a personal foul facemask on both the td and the two point conversion try (which they convert from a run up the middle) and because the game can't end on a defensive penalty the Lions get a chance at the onside kick, now being taken at our 40 yard line due to the 30 yards of personal foul penalties. The Lions will recover the onside kick and be tackled by a horse collar giving them the ball on our 15 yard line and allowing them to kick a field goal once again due to the fact that a game can't end on a defensive penalty. The 32 yard field goal will then be good after bouncing off of both uprights and in, giving the Lions a 32-31 victory.

beast (2h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (6h) : meh

Zero2Cool (10h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (10h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (10h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (14h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (14h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (16h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (17h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
